Ice-Like Dioramas

These Glass Globes Contain Delicate Scenes of Daily Life

— September 28, 2015 — Art & Design
A creative twist on the classic snow globe or a ship in a bottle, these glass globes look like they have frozen scenes in time.

The icy sculptures appear to have been created by placing the small objects inside a mold and filling it with water to be frozen. In reality, they are pieces of cooled glass that were created by flowing molten glass around the artful scenes. Each scene displayed inside is inspired by artist Jenny Ayrton's daughter. Jenny enjoys looking at things through the eyes of her daughter to get more excited and appreciative of the beauty in everyday objects.

The glass globes are beautiful gifts and decorative pieces for any room in a home. The objects are captivating and make viewers question if they are looking at frozen chunks of ice, ready to melt in front of their eyes.
